In his address via video link Imran Khan who was removed from power via no-confidence in April last year — said when he advised Bajwa to stay “neutral” like India in the matter but after a few days the ex-army chief himself started condemning Russia without letting me know.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan further said that India occupied Kashmir is a unilateral issue, there was no response from Kashmir from Western countries, we were asked to take a position in the Ukraine-Russia conflict but we decided to remain neutral.
“A grade-22 officer made a foreign policy statement during a seminar in order to please the US,” the Ex-prime minister said. He went on to say that the country would have to face the consequences when decisions were made to please USA Washington.
In a bid to plea the United States, 80,000 people got killed in the war on terror, he added.
While taking Jibe at the PDM government and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), the PTI leader said that as per the Constitution, the polls must be held within 90 days after the dissolution of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies but “these people are making new excuses”.
